Is an Arcade VGA card essential?

Lilwolf:
For DOS, yes you can get away without it.

AdvancedMAME + AdvancedMenu and your set.  But expect a lot of time configuring everything.  And you not get it in windows.

But this is what everyone (who used arcade monitors) did before arcadeVGA.

BUT... ArcadeVGA is a GREAT piece of hardware and I've never heard anyone wish they hadn't spent the money on it.  Many people upgraded their tridents to arcadeVGA (working -> working) and STILL think it was worth it.

But if you never plan on using anything other then mame.  Start off cheap.  You can always go back and get one later.

thanks mate. do you need advance mame or can you get away with just dos (and a keyboard of course)?

Can anyone tell me why when installing drivers for an arcadevga one might be getting an error saying no suitable devices found?
eggedd2k:
sounds like you're installing the drivers before installing the card

It does sound that way, but i'm not, the motherboard doesnt have onboard video and I am only using the arcadevga card, so its the only video card installed.
